Good afternoon welcome to the program just 24 pm here in moscow this choose day im kevin 0 in with this 30 minute world news round up for you the 1st imma take you through where the world is this hour statistically this tuesday well heading towards another bleak milestone im afraid to report right now there are more than 1900000 infections that have been registered globally and over 120000 people have died but a glimmer of better news almost half a 1000000 people have recovered from covert 19. In some of todays developments than france faces nearly another month of lockdown president mccrone told the nation on monday evening that measures will stay in place until may the 11th and admits mistakes were made france is the worlds 4th worst affected nation with over 136000 registered cases and almost 15000 deaths so far reporting next from paris to Charlotte Dubin ski president mark on addressing the nation again the 4th time since this pandemic took hold in france and he announced that citizens would have to face another 4 weeks over lockdown over strict of measures but thats not for everyone anyone with chronic illnesses or even the vulnerable he said will have to remain in self isolation for longer no end date was given for those category of people he also said that crosses borders with the north in the e. U. Countries would also remain closed for the foreseeable future the president said he knew it was a lot to ask he said but france was facing an invisible enemy it doesnt commit the epidemic is still not under control we need to continue to make every effort to try and stem the spread of this virus because the more we do the more we will be able to save lives so what will change for may the 1112. 00 no concrete plan was given by the president he said the government would be meeting of the next few weeks to flush that out further but he did say that some businesses would be able to reopen he said some schools would progressively start to reopen from region to region as well no sin depending on the age of the peoples but he did suggest that University Classes will not restart again before the summer so that looks like that will be a september reopening for universities he also said that while some businesses would be allowed to reopen that will not include. Restaurants balls it will not include Tourist Attractions such as museums and in fact he said the big events in france would be completely banned until at least mid july so that gives you a sense as to how much longer it will take for things to get back to normal here he also said of the media level testing would be available to anyone who presented symptoms of covert going team but not the whole of the country he said it wasnt necessary to test the whole of the country and he said that mosques should be available for every citizen now thats interesting given that weve heard criticisms of shortages of medical goods medical supplies such as mosques such as gans ventilators for frontline staff and for patients in hospitals and in fact thats something the president addressed with the failings of the state he said it was sori along. With these so who are we prepared for this crisis well i think the answer would be no we wont but we have to admit we made difficult decisions when dealing with incomplete information changing information about the virus. Virus and even now there are still many questions that remain unanswered because of the situation were going through the failings in shortages in our system we didnt have enough medical equipment from medics well present macro and went on to say that france would learn from its mistakes he said we day we acted we showed strength but he also talked about the fact that france is far from this herd immunity weve heard that is necessary to prevent this virus from spreading and continuing to eat away at populations he said as well and this was perhaps his strongest warning of the night is that the easing of the lockdown the restrictions being lifted depended on one thing and that was the french being good citizens respectful of the laws and continuing to observe the lockdown over the next 4 weeks perhaps. Even more difficult given that were heading into sort of the late spring early summer and the weather is getting so much better you france entice people out but he said you must be good citizens you must respect the lord because easing restrictions does depend on that he said nothing yet has been one when it comes to this battle no country wants to stay in lockdown indefinitely of course and governments worldwide and no struggling to try to balance affect according to measures on one hand while trying to avoid economic collapse and the other the dilemma starting to face some countries know is do they stay cautious of infection rates are falling or do they start trying to get back to some sort of normal so it could take a look at how its almost impossible to predict what best to do at the moment. For many the dream of stepping outside as weather improves is still far away with full knock down measures still in place in a number of European Countries take germany for example despite its exceptionally low mortality rate its still sticking to the principle better safe than sorry so out of nothing or stiffen after the easter holidays things wont return to how it was before there are now serious concerns that hes in a lockdown too early risks another round of infections as europe strongest economy germany can survive for a while longer with its businesses shuttered for others in the bloc though it simply cannot be afforded which is why for some unrestricted fresh air is about to become a reality as a few european nations have decided to ease their way out of lock down. We reacted 1st brought in more restrictions in other countries and therefore managed to avoid the worst of this quick and comprehensive response and also gives us the possibility to come out of this crisis more quickly australia is among those biting the bullet starting a slow and gradual process of reopening businesses many restrictions will still be in place but it is a start towards normalising an abnormal situation and with its unemployment levels hitting a post world war 2 high you really cant blame vienna for wanting to get its people back on their feet also loosening lockdown restrictions in a desperate bid to revive their economies spain and italy the wost hit european nations the millions of spanish construction factory workers monday marked the return to the day job though they were being handed masks at metro stations on the way n. Its a pretty much a matter. All the steps towards the new normal will be staggered and without a doubt cautious very cautious this next week the 1st step towards the new normal is he will be taking with the conclusion of the paid leave the began on march the 30th. All workers whose activities were suspended on the day are expected to return to their jobs. Some say its a risky move given that the east we can suicide and deaths and hundreds are still dying daily but kovac 9 has savaged the spanish economy with estimates of a 15. 5 percent drop in g. D. P. This year with everyone feeling the pinch its Little Wonder then that on the streets of spain people are welcoming the return to work in life but thinking about it. I think its the right move as long as we do it was security measures like the daily distribution of protective masks the economy stopped for a long time and i think that this way can come back to normal where like well we have to work we have to keep our country going thats for sure even before the pandemic italy was struggling to balance its books now would stalk over 1000 will cost its economy 80000000000 euros and even though the death rate that is slowing down it still has the thought highest number of infections globally but still it too has decided to take steps towards resuscitating its economy the nationwide lockdown has been extended until the start of may but a few Small Businesses like bookshops have been allowed to reopen that doors. From tuesday 14th of april would reopen Stationery Stores book shops shops for babies and children who received so many requests they will start opening and testing these areas 1st all these moves are happening despite warnings from the World Health Organization that being hasty could cost more lives down the line w. H. O. Wants to see the streets in this lifted as much as anyone at the same time lifting restrictions too quickly could lead to a deadly resurgence their way down can be dangerous as there were. If not money properly being a world leader isnt an enviable task in these Uncertain Times you have to decide whether to try and see each and every life all save the economy but the fears of a global recession not seen since the 920 s. One that leave millions living paycheck to paycheck for years to come perhaps its not surprising that some are choosing the 2nd option. To tailor their will as you mentioned spain starting to slowly get the wheels turning again for monday as the rate of deaths and infections markedly slowed for now anyway but one that spanish emergency doctor we spoke to thinks it might be too early. Lever there. Are very skeptical about this because the number of infections has not slowed down the numbers are unclear the number of infections when adjusted for population puts spain among the worst hit countries in the world this is a very risky and dangerous decision it could trigger another surge i think this is jews or pressure from Big Companies and the stock market theres so much pressure in the countries which is divided politically and is for some of the workforce to return to their jobs to see that demick isnt under control in spain is not right i think the europe suited the council isnt it doesnt consider human lives the disease can be stalked very strict quarantine and the faster its implemented the faster you can be lifted. Ever since the 1st corona virus reports emerge so too did questions about whether it was more or less dangerous than catching the flu it was that which left governments of course open to accusations initially that had moved fast enough during the early stages to prevent whats now become a deadly pandemic is this the same as the flu so the virus was fresh this will spread like by the way spreads every year i really think doug you want to treat this like you treat the flu outbreak. Of influenza and coded 19 of viral infections with similar symptoms and fever cough for t. There are no symptoms with which you can distinguish current virus from flu so whats the difference why did the World Health Organization declare a pandemic and leave a 3rd of the planet into quarantine. What makes corona virus more dangerous than influenza are 2 key factors determine the dangers contagiousness and the death rate lets start with contagiousness. The flu transmission rate is 1. 00 that means that one infected person can pass flu on. More than one other on average a coded 19 rate is 2. 00 doesnt so much worse does it but look where that leads if one person with flu infects another and that person transmits the virus to one more after 10 steps there will be 56. 00 infected people but with corona virus person infects a minimum of 2 people up to 10 steps that means more than 2000 are infected far worse than 56. 00 the flu is and thats why the graphs shoot up so sharply. Remember when its only had 2 patients on friday 500 on monday. Period or 6 from the moment of infection until symptoms appeared influenzas incubation period is 2 days on average if someone gets sick and feels bad the next day and stays home they wont affect friends or colleagues but if someone has coded 19 they might not know theyre infected but they are still a carrier. The new virus differs from the old influenza also with the fact that humanity doesnt have the immunity the reason why it could be 19 is 2 times more contagious than influenza is in our lack of immunity to it its a new virus and no one was sick with it before plus coronavirus remains in the air for 3 hours and for up to 3 days on plastic and still surfaces. Most of us have had a bad cold or flu its not pleasant but few enjoy serious complications 4 percent of people with the flu suffer a pneumonia or other respiratory trauma to coronavirus patients or 5 times more likely to develop complications. So a lot of people dying from the flu the flu is a respiratory disease just like there coronavirus it would be very similar to the flu we have to keep in mind at the common flu kills many more people thats just not true global flu mortality rate is 0. Point bomb percent thats still a loss every year 650000 people die from. One in every 1000. 900. 00 death rate has reached 3. 4 percent thats 34. 00 deaths and every. Mortality of 0 point one percent this has a mortality of 10 times that this is a really serious problem that we have to take seriously in just a few months over 100000 people have died from corona virus scientists admit they dont know enough about the from october of 99 and there is still no vaccine. In the estimate says that vaccines will only be really well made 20. 00 to 21. 00 verse little although flu vaccines have been around for a long time and are effective at reducing infections the flu vaccine does not treat coronavirus so despite what you. Talk about brought a virus being so much more deadly doesnt require more yellow they dont believe everything you only accurate comparison is when it comes to prevention just like keeping away the flu wash your hands you sanitizers reduced social contact and stay informed from trusted sources. So we know as weve heard from again the race is on pharmaceutical firms are working flat out to try to develop vaccines and treatments here in russia some to tell you patients who recovered are helping doctors by donating their blood plasma with antibodies in the transfusion into others who are still sick and one of the 1st donors talk to us about how it works. But im going to be needed i became a donor 2 weeks after i was discharged from hospital as far as i know there was the time when the concentration of fent bodies in my blood had reached its peak i received a call from the hospital and they asked if they could possibly personal data to another medical institution then a team of medics from school if i saw skiing at the church came to take my blood for testing 4 days after i learned the results were good enough to be a donor. The procedure itself is rather simple and takes about an hour during this time youre surrounded by medics who are monitoring your condition but its not scary its fast and causes no were losing sleep in consciousness anyone who came through this conveyed infection could do the same if the way that we will said my plans might help 2 or 3 people who are about to be put on a ventilator. It better to put on a medical mask yourself and then see people Wearing Masks and hazmat suits and around you for a month you shouldnt think this wont happen to me i thought i was immune to this disease because i hadnt been you know for 13 years but it happened anyway its better to stay at home for a month or 2 than stay in a great. Summers saying so that yeah this is. The way self isolation gets tricky coming up residents can only leave their homes for essential reasons while a digital system for travel becomes compulsory from tomorrow. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see you there. Again straight through for some of measures come into force here in moscow than from wednesday the city is russias worst affected area for infections and its going to be mandatory from tomorrow to get a digital permit to travel around the region either by personal public transport of the 2774 new cases here in russia in the past 24 hours more than a half maybe not surprisingly such a huge conservation work here in moscow he goes down off explains how the capitals travel permit system is going to work then. So most school is one step closer to a full load down starting wednesday every citizen must obtain a special electronic pass to get to work as long as theyre moving not on foot but be on their own personal car on a bicycle or even a scooter they will have to have one but as im talking to plenty of Police Offices so far they cant give me a clear answer as to how they will be enforcing and even just checking whether or not a person has such a past well weve been here for over an hour now and frankly picture why is all we could get so far is Something Like a really low budget parody of the lord of the rings you know trees open vistas and people on horses there is literally nobody noticed soul in this park right now partially probably because people are afraid of the new fines but also its because this whole massive park has been taped off sending a clear message to everyone that well youre not welcome here youre not allowed here on the premises and well that there will be police here patrolling the park but literally a moment afterward corded this something that we didnt really expect could happen happened a chase. In the park it seemed there were as many people to talk to as squirrels so we moved to central moscow to find out whether or not its citizens are aware of the new measures rules to steal food media person it was easy to get a passport mobile phone number that was all used no problems at all i have it in my band in that it was a medical i didnt know anything about here i used to pass my employer is now pretty similar problems i know about the system but i dont have the past yet its quite hard to find a link to the site but i will get it. The police told me about the bass today they said al needed starting on 15th of april every single day the russian capital seizing 1000 plus of new over 1000. 00 cases so now the Mayors Office is tightening the screws but so far every single policeman that ive talked with what theyre telling me that the only tool theyre using to enforce this is well just words theyre convincing people to stay home and fines theyre telling me is an absolute last resort measure so the main question persists will that be enough for people to listen without any further financial motivation elsewhere in the world israel double down on Movement Restrictions in some densely populated jerusalem districts noncompliance an ultraorthodox neighborhood saw infections spike and then all but sealed off with police guards than is our middle east correspondent paula. Im here at one of the several checkpoints to measure agreement ultraorthodox neighborhood introduce 11 now as you can see in and out is forbidden and least you have special permission and this is a measure that the Israeli Government imposed on sunday its to try and contain the spread of the virus which is the most prevalent in these ultraorthodox neighborhoods its absolutely critical that all of the people that are living in the ultra religious neighborhoods will stay at home the message to the public and also to the leaders of the communities the rabbis is to make sure that people are distancing from one another not getting close we seeing that there are large families with 510 even 15 People Living in one apartment and therefore its absolutely necessary that people stay at home so we have another checkpoint that goes into masha reem i want to be able to see whether or not we can instead but hes probably going to ask me for some kind of i. D. And though i am maddy you remember im a journalist yes if you want to forward this area i can can only go to the syrians just to meet them. And their. Go into this and go back through this. Street over here thank you very much that i can only go in this area the problem is that in these ultra orthodox neighborhoods people live in close proximity to each other and theyve also been just a baby the distancing rules so after more than 11000. 00 cases that they are currently in israel the majority of them are coming from all too often neighborhoods like mischa really the rumor is good the police are out on patrol but unfortunately they often dont follow protocol they dont send offices the right targets these a lot of force there are places that they close more others and they close less you can say the police are doing good work this is the situation what has to be done its intense but its definitely necessary. Theres a lot of distance from nation a lot of people dont have smartphones internet in these communities and they dont understand how serious it is how serious if we run out of ventilators so theyre definitely doing what they need to do and it could be that they should be doing even more. Of the lockdown is an excellent thing theres no choice it saves people and thats the bottom line the police are very considerate but we have to police ourselves thats how it should be and of course. Its a little disturbing sometimes the police are here sometimes they are there its really frustrating everybodys nervous theres a very tense feeling in the air but we hope it will back us. This is a synagogue in the heart of massively him and precisely because people are continuing to congregate 3 times a day to pray in synagogues the police have been force this lockdown now the son of god is a 100 years old it is the 1st time in its history that it has shut its doors or making sure that were the right place at the right time and as well as that our units are also going inside synagogues and making sure there are no public gatherings weve seen a lot of gatherings that have taken place people that have come to pray that something that were preventing it is now compulsory. To wear a mask in public not doing so well see you find one and a half 1000. 00 with more game a 100 israelis so far did from the coronavirus the police will continue to take this very seriously. R. T. Jerusalem.
